APPENDIX 5 FINANCIAL STATEMENT EXPLANATORY NOTE Statements showing appropriations, receipts, expenditures, and other financial data for a series of years constitute the most effective single means of exhibiting the growth and development of a service. Due to the fact that Congress has adopted no uniform plan of appropriations for the several services and that the latter employ no uniform plan in respect to the recording and reporting of their receipts and expenditures, it is impossible to present data of this character according to any standard scheme of presentation. In the case of some services the administrative reports contain tables showing financial conditions and operations of the service in considerable detail; in others financial data are almost wholly lacking. Careful study has in all cases been made of such data as are available, and the effort has been made to present the results in such a form as will exhibit the financial operations of the services in the most effective way that circumstances permit. The Coast and Geodetic Survey receives annual appropriations from Congress and in addition benefits from the appropriations for "Printing and Binding" and "Contingent Expenses," made to the Department of Commerce. The statements which follow show only the appropriation made directly to the service. The appropriations include all deficiency amounts with the exception of "auditors certified claims." These are usually small and in most cases arise as the result of the lapsing of an appropriation. The expenditures in the following table, unless otherwise noted, are figured on the accrual basis. They represent, therefore, the total amount expended out of an appropriation, regardless of whether the disbursements were made during the current fiscal year for which the appropriation was made or during the two succeeding years in which the money was available.
